Fanart Grabber - Current Version 0.15.1
Hi @robweber

I am receiving errors with script.grab.fanart since the new v0.15.1 updated onto my system.

Log is here. Error at line 1241... https://paste.kodi.tv/acoqakafes.kodi

I use Transparency! and AeonNox:SiLVO, but not sure which skin is using this script.

Looks like my old friend - the Unicode Error. 

Looking at the trace for both of the above posts the issue is with a JSON call. Unforantely the actualyl error is being thrown by the "kodi-six" module; which is used as a wrapper for Python2 to Python3 conversion with Kodi specific libraries. So while the error affects the Fanart Grabber addon, it's kodi-six that is actually generating the error. Not trying to pass the buck but I won't be able to fix this. I'll post your files in the Kodi-six thread and see what comes back.

Not the best news on the error you submitted. In order to achieve Python 2 and Python 3 compatibility (required for newer versions of Kodi) I used a library called "kodi-six" which takes care of the compatibility issues. The idea is it does the right conversions based on if you're on Py2 or Py3. 

The developer got back to me and explained an issue regarding character set encodings is causing the problem. You can read his full explanation here. This isn't something that can be fixed based on the response I got. Kodi is storing data on your system in byte sequence formats and the error is thrown trying to convert them to UTF-8.  In past versions of this addon that conversion hasn't been happening since Python2 does the same thing for string data. With the move to Python 3 strings are now Unicode, which is something the kodi-six library tries to standardize for Python 2 strings. 

What I would do is rollback the version of this addon on your system to the previous version. It will function the same and actually work. Moving to Python 3 (Kodi Matrix and above) you're likely to see this error happen again since Python 3 will treat the character encodings different at a very low level and throw errors as well. I imagine this will affect other addons as they start to migrate as well. I have a Python3 version of Kodi setup as a dev environment. I'm going to try and duplicate this to confirm but the @Roman_V_M 's explanation makes sense.

Thanks @robweber

For other members that need to roll back the update, follow these steps
  1. Download v0.14.1 as a zip file from here... http://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/leia/script.grab.fanart/
  2. Install the add-on using Settings>Addons>Install from zip file
  3. You must disable automatic updates for this add-on otherwise it will update itself again to the broke version
  4. This add-on is found in Settings>System>Add-ons>Manage dependencies
  5. Open the add-on settings page and disable Auto-update

Hi, does this work with, or can it be extended to work with, extra fanart that's named fanart1, fanart2 etc...or is it just limited to the single "default" fanarts?

@robweber Can you please inform how to remove this addon from a KODI install? I am having daily crashes and want to remove one Addon at a time to see what causing problem. In Kodi UI, I can't find this Addon but it's present in De-bug log...

Since this is a "module" it takes a bit of digging to find it. Under Settings/System/Addons there is an option called Manage dependencies. You have to have your setting set to Advanced or higher to see it. When you click on that you get all the module type addons. From here you can select and uninstall - as long as no other addon needs it as a dependency.

A compatible version for Matrix was accepted into the official repo just today. Already available via the Kodi mirrors sites.
